SORBET
• A frozen dessert similar to a frappé, usually made
from fruit juice and having a mushy consistency. The
term is derived from the Turkish word for Sorbet,
Sherbat.
•
•It was Nero the Roman Emperor,
who, during the first century A.D. had
runners along the Appian way pass
buckets of snow hand over hand from
the mountains to his banquet hall
where it was then mixed with honey
and wine.
•The Asian culture also has a place in history for the
first frozen desserts. At the end of the thirteenth
century,Marco Polo returned from the Far East with
recipes of concoctions made from snow, juice and
fruit pulp. Frozen desserts are believed to have been
brought to France in 1533 by Catherine de Medici
when she left Italy to marry the Duke of Orleans, who
later became Henry 2nd.
•By the end of the 17th century, sorbet hit the streets of Paris
and spread to England and the rest of Europe where they were
enjoyed by commoners and courtiers alike. The French are
responsible for the culinary tradition of using sorbet as palate
cleaners. Sorbet can mark the end of a meal as something
special with just the right hint of culinary glamour. Today
sorbet has graduated to a fat free treat that can be enjoyed
anytime, even right out of the container
HOW IS IT SERVED
Sorbets are usually served in
sundae dishes or in tall glasses
with a parfait spoon, kept on the
sideplate.
